LittleStarmen Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I've a TikTok account which I think the content is decent but I dont really post it, However when I redownload Tik Tok im overwhelmed by trashy content. Its either repost, or commentary on a fashion/tv show/movie or clickbait. Makes me hate social media. At least instagram I see the people who I follow mostly and I know them. Anyone experiences the same? I felt the content went downhill last year or so... Or if you like tik tok what do you use for? 2 1
Vixen Eyes Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Thats literally all of social media. You just need to follow and interact with the content you WANT in your feed. If anything suggested that irks or annoys or anything you can block that account. 8

Maxxxine Posted October 17 Posted October 17 What I hate most is how they be adding music to EVERY clip like nobody wants to hear that shite! 6 5
Sheep Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I don't use it because of security concerns but I'm fairly certain the more you use it and interact by liking or blocking posts, the more catered to you your feed becomes.
Rihinvention Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't deleting/reinstalling it delete all its data, and consequently, your algorithm? If you're constantly having to re-tailor your algorithm, then of course you're going to get some rubbish content. People who love it mostly likely have really curated algorithms. 5

Smarticle Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I get a decent amount of good gay content, hot men, and funny memes. Must be your algorithm 2 3
Bhabylon Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Just now, Prodigal Self said: Well delete the app if you hate it so much No girl, not when I get sent free things every now and then plus the non-negative side is funny as hell it's just annoying because the algorithm rewards negativity more often than not
Ohno Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Tiktok is just people telling the same joke over and over again until they find a new one. I can't take it anymore 2
BrattyBottom Posted October 17 Posted October 17 My whole feed is mostly just cats and I built it to be that way. I find whenever there's a major pop culture event I tend to get some of that pushed but the key is to scroll quickly and don't interact. Tiktok can be a lot of fun and catered to you if you play the game lol 2

tost1 Posted October 17 Posted October 17 (edited) Never had it, never will I deactivate my Insta every now and then because I can feel the toxicity affecting me Edited October 17 by tost1
pavi Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Never see any reposts or commentary to tv shows or movies on my tl It's just (niche) pop music content (a mash-up of a Magdalena Bay album track with 212 fe lol) or funny animals. Of course there's trash on there and social media actually benefit from posts filled with hared and polarizing opinions, because it taps into people's emotions, which increases engagement. It's a huge problem. But I'm actually amazed (and scared) by TikTok's algorithm and how easy it is to create a tl of stuff that feels very exclusively me

Not always, when I had an account I was sometimes shown American right wing content when most of the videos I interacted with were animals, old TV show/movie content, funny female creators (KhaeNotBae, Princess_Milkyy, etc) and Japanese things. 1
